I'm on Linux with 1Gb of memory + 2Gb of swap. My Java console claims that
I'm running out of memory(java.lang.OutOfMemoryError).

- are there any options in Eclipse that I can set (e.g., for the Java VM?)
- is there a way to tell Eclipse to ignore (not keep in inventory) some
files? My include directory is a bunch of soft links to each source
directory where the *.cc and *.h are mixed. I fear that it doubles the
number of inventoried files. I saw options for CVS but I think I need
something stronger. My "bin" directory is also large as well as "lib"
directory.

Any hints are welcomed.

Cheers, Pierre

I found the following from the main Eclipse group:
Memory can be controlled by adding: -vmargs -Xmx512M

Seems to help. Cheers, Pierre
